Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alika [10]3 years ago
4 0
Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

How many grams are in 0.787 moles of kcn
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

=> moles = Given mass/molar mass

=> 0.787 = Given mass/(39 + 12 + 14)

=> 0.787 = Given mass/65

=> mass = 0.787 × 65

=> <u>mass = 51.155 g</u>

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B How many boxes of B would be required to make 30
Iteru [2.4K]
Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)

But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?

30/5 = 6

You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.

Is there a way to stop radioactive decay?
Wittaler [7]
The chain reaction is easy to stop. Just add a neuron absorbing material. The Control Rods in rectors can do that You just SCRAM (put the rods all the way in) or add something like Boron and the chain reaction stops. 

<span>The problem is the radioactive waste. Those isotopes break down and release heat spontaneously, no neutrons required. The only known way to stop or slow radioactive decay down is to slow time down by moving at relativistic speed or near orbit to a black hole.</span>
